1.9 Floppy Disk Drive Connectors Function The FDD connector is for connecting up to two floppy disk drives. Connecting Floppy Drives Install one end of the floppy disk drive cable into the floppy disk header on the motherboard and the other end-most connector to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.
1.11 Front Panel Connector Function The front panel connector (J44) on the motherboard supports several system indicators and controls that connect to the front panel of the system chassis. This will enable you to determine information about the system’s operational status and provide some system controls. These include the: Reset Switch This switch connects to the system's Reset button allowing you to...
Page 33
• Power On Switch This switch connects to the system's Power button allowing you to power on and off the system. You can configure the system to use the keyboard or mouse to power-on the system. You can also configure the system to respond to power restoration after a power outage occurs.
1.12 EPS12V Power Connector Connecting a 450-Watt EPS 12V Power Supply The motherboard requires using a 450-Watt EPS 12V power supply. Leads from the power supply will plug into the two power connectors (J1 and J3) on the motherboard. The 24-pin (J1) and 8-pin (J3) power connectors are not standard ATX connectors.

Overview This chapter discusses the AMIBIOS Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. The BIOS is the Basic Input / Output System used in all IBM PC, XT, AT, and PS/2 compatible computers.
STARTING THE BIOS SETUP The AMIBIOS is immediately activated every time you power on the system. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking the system and configuring it. After configuring the system, the BIOS will follow the Boot Order to seek out an operating system.
USING THE BIOS SETUP UTILITY Navigating through the BIOS Setup Utility is straight forward. Use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select items in menus, and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard. Up ArrowKey Move to the previous item Down Arrow Key...
Page 52
IMPORTANT The BIOS does NOT automatically save values that you have modified. If you do not save your values before you exit the BIOS Setup Utility, all your changes will be lost. If after making and saving system changes with the BIOS Setup Utility, you discover that your computer is no longer able to boot, the AMIBIOS supports an override, which will reset your system to the Failsafe defaults.
